Last week I listened in anger as our priest in his homily put forth a clever argument supporting the reception of communion in spite of unrepented sins like using contraception or being in a second marriage not blessed by the church. He suggested that abstaining from reception of communion for these sins was as absurd as for small infractions like children breaking their fast by taking a sip of water or forgetfully putting a piece of candy in their mouth only to remember and immediately spit it out anytime from midnight the night before receiving.

I watched one Mother with preteen children get up and walk out in the middle of this harmful message.

The week before, he obscured the idea that Jesus is God by having us substitute “Lord Hear Our Prayer” with “Jesus Pray for Us.” Is Jesus now on the level of any saint such that He merely intercedes for us with the one real God?
 
And keep writing letters to your bishop UNTIL YOU GET A REPLY!!!

How can we expect to not lose any sheep if our shephards are not guiding us!?!?!?!?!
 
Obviously this wasn’t a Catholic priest and a Catholic church.
 
Sounds like a priest with a problem. My guess is he is in need of counseling.
 
Technically, Lord Jesus did pray for us on this earth, but… the substitution is quite strange. Just hope he hasn’t turned antitrinitarian. Arius, anyone?

Write your bishop a nice letter with a big RSVP…
 
Don’t just write your bishop a letter - send a copy of that letter to the priest. Make sure that you include specific deails, such as date and time of the mass.

I also got up and left during a homily at a Seattle area parish the weekend before last, and intend to write the Archbishop.
